Battle of Gagron
The Battles of Gagron 1519 fought in between the armies of Rajput kings and
Malva, Gujarat Sultanate. Rana Sanga leads the Rajput armies under
the Rao Viramdeva and Medini Rai. Sultan Mahmud Khilji II of Gujarat
sultanate who was supported by the Malva Sultanate under Asaf Khan. The main reason for this
battle is Medini Rai was granted a fief by Rana Sanga. The Malwa Sultan
encroached on it. To teach him a lesson, Rana Sanga marched against the Sultan.
In this battle, Rana Sanga weakens the growing power of the Gujarat Sultanate.
Rana Sanga advanced with a large army from Chittor reinforced by the Rathors of Merta under
Rao Viramdeva and met Sultan Mahmud Khilji II accompanied by the Gujarat
auxiliaries under Asaf Khan. As soon as the battle started the Rajput Cavalry made a fierce charge and tore through the
Gujarat Cavalry the few remnants that survived fled in every direction that
they could find. The Rajput cavalry after routing the Gujarat reinforcements
turned towards the Malwa army. The Sultan's forces fought bravely but could not
withstand the furious charge of the Rajput cavalry
and sustained a complete defeat. Most of his officers were killed and the army
was nearly annihilated. Asaf Khan's son was killed and Asaf Khan himself sought
safety in flight. Sultan Mahmud was taken prisoner wounded and bleeding.
